Machinery Trial Class for Beginners

Curious about woodworking but not ready to commit to a long course?
Frame It – Woodworking Essentials for Beginners is a hands-on trial class designed as your first step into the workshop at The Makers Society.

In this guided session, you’ll be introduced to essential workshop machines and foundational joinery concepts. Under close supervision, you’ll learn how to safely operate the table saw and router table—two core tools used in furniture and project-based woodworking.
